Good Morning Ed!
Sounds like you have your day already planned out! I think mine is also, just have to get myself 'started'!.
It is cool, but hardly comfortable out there. Humidity level right now is 99%. Hmmm. And it doesn't look much better through out the day.

I have a little investigating to do today...I am going to try my hand at prescription shopping. Looking at Kroger and Publix. I already know what Costco charges me. And a trip to the gym is in order...I've used my free Silver Sneakers video all week, and only got to the gym once last week! (not so good)

Ok, time to stand up and move my feet!
Happy folding! And I'm jealous of your refrigerator full of delicious left overs! Mine is down to leftover rice. I did leftovers all weekend.

Later...

Good Morning Ed,
I've spent too much time doing 'this and that' this morning. I have a Yoga class starting in about 20 minutes...and I'm still in my jammies! Welllll....
Watched the Vegan one tray baked veg's. OH!! Now I'm hungry too!
Hope you have a great day...I see sunshine thru the leaves in my little spit of woods, and my Fall camellia is blooming!!! Just started. Will be so pretty in just a couple more days!
Got my script yesterday....$40 bucks for 90 days....its $92 at Costco????? what the heck? And the very nice and kind lady who took my script and updated my account at Kroger actually apologized that even with my Humana insurance discount, etc it would be $42!!! She hardly got the price out of her mouth before I said, "fill it"!!! I can always find a use for $50 bucks!!
My laundry is also done, and put away! Boy, are we in a good place with laundry today!!!

Also my azalea's are in full bloom, and I see HONEY BEES! I haven't seen honey bees here in a couple of years!! I'm excited!

And all the chard has been eaten by ?????, not by me. Grrrr!

Later...

Good Morning Ed!
Yep, should be a nice day! Makes me happy as I will be driving to Decatur today to see Dr. Pat. I'd love to have a closer Chiro, but she'd have to move out to the burbs, and I KNOW she's not going to do that!! LOL!

Your Chili Frito Pit...looks so good! Made me remember something I used to fix for the boys years and years ago when they were in high school. Do you remember Taco Pie? Crushed Frito's base, and then the taco ingredients, baked and when the cheese was nicely melted cut it into slices and top with the shredded lettuce and tomato, etc. It was one meal that I could count on them BOTH eating. LOL!!

Ok, time I start thinking about heading out...hope your day goes well, and enjoy all those grocery stores!! That many stores would take me ALL DAY!!!

Later...

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It is a bit foggy this morning but should turn out to be a pleasant day, though overcast this morning.

I encountered a 16 inch take & bake traditional crust pizza at Lidl yesterday, and at a price of only $4.99 for the 6 cheese version couldn't resist buying one for supper. And breakfast. And lunch...

The ones with just a few toppings were at $5.49 and the meat lovers (5 meats) was at $5.99. I seriously thought about buying one of the meat lovers too, but refrained. I would have had to eat the whole thing, and think I would have had to freeze some of the leftovers. So just a cheese pizza for us.

J doesn't generally eat breakfast, but for me one slice of the pizza, with the additional toppings of soft cooked scrambled egg, cheddar cheese (7 cheese pizza now!) and a sliced up sausage link from the links I prepared to have with it, made a great breakfast warmed up in the toaster oven to have an even crispier crust.

While the pizza last night was OK, the crust is a bit thicker, and chewier, than we really prefer, though the flavor was good. I will not be buying another of those any time soon, even at that great price. For an acceptable, quick, inexpensive family meal I think it would be a good deal for the average family though.

I need to give the AC drain its monthly flush today.

OOPS, sorry Ed. I was distracted and monkey minded most of the day...if its any consolation, (which it really shouldn't be), I answered your post in my mind...just not on the computer!! Like,
"I think I would have liked the pizza'z thicker crust, (not a fan of thin and crispy)" or, I've never flushed my A/C drain....the guys who do maintenance do that and have never suggested I should do it. .....hmmm will ask about that when they come for my Heating system. I do know they switched from using bleach to a 'cleaner' a couple years ago...

Today there are a couple of things I need/should do, and one it to chat with Ted and see if he wants to get together with the other side of our little family for his birthday...I'm guessing no, but one never knows these days....
And I need to make a quick trip into Kroger for one or two items, and I have a yoga class in about 30 minutes, so getting dressed might be a good idea??? LOL!!

Saturday is a Flag Corps competition for O, and family thinks I should attend....??? Lotta people, probably not a mask in the bunch...on the other hand I have not seen my grands since Mothers Day, and no hugs etc since I'm thinking Christmas??? What to do, what to do????

Later...

Good Afternoon Ed!
Late getting up this morning, and my floors are now done, as is my yoga class. I'm eating my lunch and plotting my next move. Thinking I may put a load of laundry in and then head for my nap while it washes?? or maybe just a nap? Meanwhile as I eat I'm going to watch Grandma and see what this white and green concoction she's made for us today!

Hope you have a good day, a walk perhaps? I have a fall Camellia just covered in white blossoms that have pink/red ruffled edges. (picotee). This is the best job of blooming I've ever seen on this tree! I also have a bright red camellia that blooms during the winter, and another that ushers in Spring..its pink.

Later...

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! It is supposed to be a partly cloudy, fairly cool day with a high of 74.

I may need to pick up a prescription at Publix, but will wait until notified that it's ready.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! And it's another beautiful sunny day in Peachtree Corners.

Not much on the agenda today, though I am (probably) expecting a wine delivery.

Hi Ed!
Heading out for a nap I hope....I just bent over to put some papers in the trash can and the entire world began spinning totally out of control. What a sickening feeling that is. I've done 2 video workouts this morning, and made a really tasty tofu scramble for lunch. Now I just want to take a nap. Ted's at work, will be home probably around midnight.
I'm doing much better now, the spinning seems to have stopped. So, I think I shall very carefully make like a turtle and head for my room.

Enjoy your fruit juice! LOL!

Well, following their instructions definitely got the blood flowing. It was a task to get it to stop then, long enough to quickly get the little adhesive bandage stuck on it. Must remember that a good shake of the hands, and standing to keep them below the heart, REALLY gets the blood flowing to the fingers.

I got all their silly circles filled and now have to let it dry for 30 minutes, and then package it up and send it back.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It's very sticky out there at the moment, with 100% humidity, but should become more pleasant later and we are expecting a warm, partly cloudy day.

We had our first actual delivery of groceries yesterday. I had just recently gone to the store and J wanted something badly enough to put together an order of items via Amazon Fresh. This order was placed on Wednesday, and we COULD have requested delivery late Wednesday evening, but J chose Thursday morning, between 10:00 and 12:00 noon. At about 10:30 I saw the delivery on the camera, and brought it in. There was a bit of junk food, but I suppose J balanced that with the shredded wheat cereal and the Del Monte cherry fruit cups, packed in 100% fruit juice.

The Reese's cups were an item I would have left out, unless SPECIFICALLY requested, on any of my trips, and are part of why I am usually the one in charge of the groceries. J has a tendency to toss in more junk food, apparently even on line!

To be fair, I have been working my way through a box of pumpkin Pop Tarts, a seasonal treat that I can't resist. And of course Kroger puts it right in your face in a separate display that is in the way, so you can't miss them.

I do think there is overkill with the pumpkin SPICE in the fall, but I do like real pumpkin. And of course I have no issues with pumpkin spice when there is actually pumpkin (or at least some kind of hard squash) in the treat.

I don't really care for the idea of pumpkin spice tossed in willy nilly, into things like frosted flakes, Cheerios, baked goods that don't contain pumpkin (just the spice) and am on the fence regarding pumpkin spice coffee.

Come to it, they also seem to go nuts tossing pumpkin into things where it seems a bit weird to me, like salsa.

Oh well, it IS a fall vegetable, and it's actually good for us, so I guess I shouldn't complain. All the same, I will limit my pumpkin intake and my pumpkin spice intake as well. Most of it is baked goodies I don't need to eat anyway. I am fond of a good, rich, pumpkin cake, and of course pumpkin pie. And I LOVE pumpkin (or butternut squash) bisque as a starter for a meal.

I guess I need to get started on my day. I had baked chicken for breakfast, along with one pumpkin Pop Tart. The other one from that foil pack will, no doubt, find its way into me later today.

Valerie, it looks like you may be behind on videos so I will skip that this morning. Hope you are OK!

Well, I got dinner started. Easy peasy pot roast. Internet is back up too.

Hi Ed
Made a trip to the hospital, Northside. I am still a bit wobbly on my feet. I'm hoping its just because I have't eaten in 3 days. Just finished a bowl of soup and a few crackers. Hope that stays put too!
Right now I think its sleep time.

I am glad you are back home. Hopefully this will all get better soon. The food at Northside is ... edible, technically, but you can be sure you'll be better off eating at home rather than staying there for any length of time.

And...

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! We are expecting it to be partly cloudy and cool today. I need to take J's car out for a weekend run to keep it active. Might take mine for a longer run than it's been getting too.

Dinner/supper was yummy and I have three or four more nice meals coming from the pot roast.




And I might actually get the laundry into the washer today. Right now I hear my pot of tea gurgling so I think I need to get to making my breakfast.

Hey Ed!
Its me, Ole Dizzy! Much improved, not 100% yet. Did have soup for last todays, but today I woke from my nap...(I nap all day now) and I was hungry! So, with Ted's help I had a small baked potato, stuffed with steamed broccoli, and mushroom soup poured over the whole mess. It was delicious!

I don't feel like I should be driving yet...so am at home. But mostly I sleep. Probably, my brain is trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with my gyroscope!!! Ted and I laugh about how I weave and lurch when I walk...like I was on an extended bender!!!

Hope all is well at your house. News/ weather says we're gonna get wet..about 4 inches of wet about Wednesday, I think. (Hurricane Zeta will hopefully end the season. For sure we're all out of names!!). Whatever, have your bumbershoot ready along with your boots. Or, just stay home and dry!!

Good Morning Ed!
I saw your post where you thought I was behind on the video's..boy am I ever. Let me tell you there is NOTHING fun about Benign Positional Vertigo!! I couldn't read, walk, keep food or even tea down, I did excel at sleeping though!
The ER Doc was great. So was my entire visit. No visitors allowed, so poor Ted got to sit in his car in the pouring rain for about 4 hours. I really owe that kid for that one! I didn't get fed, but I did get a nice bag of fluid dripped into my arm. They ran blood tests, some vision tests, asked a million and two questions...and then in came Dr. Chandler! He did the Epley maneuver, and that pretty much stopped the dizziness! That was Saturday night...by last night I could say all the dizzies were gone and I'm just weak and out of balance. It's Tuesday, and even the balance is improving. I'm going to attempt a shower later today I hope. It's been more days than I want to count since a shower and shampoo! YUCKIE!!!

Ok, I'm about to make my way to my room, and try to do a bit of tidying work on the bedside table and my bed and bathroom sink. Stuff is just sorta everywhere.

I think your Jason and my Ted when he was a little guy had the same sweet tooth. (not that I don't mind you)..going to school and 2 boys, and house, and yard..it was a bit much! So one nite I was grousing about having to pack a lunch for the next day at school, and this sweet little child said he'd fix my lunch....and I let him! (What was I thinking?)...Jimmy and I would take turns bringing lunch for both of us...I opened the bag and Jimmy and I had chips, and cookies, and candy etc for lunch that day!!! Never again! LOL!!

Take care that damn virus is on it upward swing again...Oh, I wore a mask to the ER, and they offered me one of theirs! Talk about a really NICE disposable mask!! Soft paper, easy to breathe thru, etc. really special!! Anyhow, wear your mask, wash your hands and stay home! I'm sorta self isolating. Pretty much my bedroom and bath and the dining room table...though I did manage to make my own breakfast this morning! First self cooked breakfast in a week!
